Ken, just an idea based on Butch"s request for "501". Could you manufacture each one with its on specific S/N maybe stamped on a plate that comes with the product. It might really boost the value when all our Grandkids are on the farmall cub forum many years in the future (and they will be). Just a thought.

" It's not the size of the tractor in the fight, but the size of the fight in the tractor ".

There are no plans to serial number these models. There are a few models that have not been "reserved" or slated for production that could be used for a "special edition". They could be serial numbered.

I prefer that they not be serial number for people like me, who just buy a bunch of them and tear them apart. I have scrubbed plenty of Ertl castings already, sending them to the scrap bin. It gets tricky to grind off the underslung muffler on one of those. one wrong move with the die grinder and you loose too much of the tractor!

btw, I just finished a prototype working hay baler in 1/16th scale. the bales are exactly in 1/16 scale, unlike the ones you see on ebay that are too big to be 14"x16"x42" small square. mine are so accurrate, they even fit in the chamber of Ertl balers.

not a great picture, but you get the idea.

Ken, anyone think of modifying the LA mower to make it into the Cub 22?
